    Who thinks .05 increments work better ?

    I would agree, we all hate getting pennied to death. On the other hand this sound similar to something I remember seeing called teenies way back when (2 yrs ago). This bs penny system was created by the specialists and market makers because they had no way to steal orders with the old system...
